I am here to tell you about this new and exciting website. It is based on art. Mine (My name is Stefan, by the way), as those whose art I find real and fascinating and moving. I have always been scientific in my mind; in my profession . . . But now, you see, I am moving more toward my heart. In this heart there is ART. Wonderful, fabulous art.

I play guitar . . . I know, I know. Guitarists, like clichés, are a dime-a-dozen. I also compose music. I have loved music all of my life, and I’ve been reading books ever since my big sister taught me how to read when I was four (a Golden Books Little Red Riding Hood).

I used to get books for my birthday and for xmas, and unlike most kids, I relished them. I remember reading The Hardy Boys mysteries, and devouring my sister’s Nancy Drew books. In fact, I constantly perused books that were on all of the bookshelves of the house; my brother’s; the aforementioned sister . . . I even got into the bookcase in the living room that was mostly dad’s photography books and dictionaries. We had it all.

Of course, as I got older, I moved on to the real deal. I read The Shining when I was eight (dad thought I returned it to the drugstore-he was terrified that I was reading such a book), and I have come to love books of nearly all kinds. I enjoyed the series of Young Wizards at a certain Academy in Britain very much. I thought the author improved greatly as the books progressed. I’m not so crazy about Teenage Vampire Love Stories, or Teenage Death-Match Love Stories, though.

I’ll tell you who I really enjoy. Thomas Harris. Charles Frazier. Umberto Eco. Jesus, now that I think about it, the list just goes on and on. I’m sure I’ll eventually get around to mentioning everyone before I am through. Feel free to list your own recommendations in the comments you submit to this blog.

I hope you really enjoy this page. I have a lot to say, and all this space in which to say it.

I am in the process of recording an album, which will be available here soon. I am also making a couple of documentaries, again, to be made available here, too.

So stay tuned, folks. For the time being I put up some photos of some of my heroes; authors, musicians, scientists . . . I will credit the copyright and/or the photographers when available. If you are someone who is responsible for this beauty, please let me know and I will attribute credit accordingly.

All the best and Happy New Year, you crazy art-lovers out there!

Enjoy, and remember: You must Feed Your Id regularly . . .
